Warning lamps
E00502400017
Brake warning lamp (brake
warning buzzer)
E00502501712
This lamp illuminates when the ignition
switch is turned to the “ON” position,
and goes off after a few seconds.
Always make sure that the lamp goes off
before driving.
With the ignition switch in the “ON” po-
sition, the brake warning lamp illumi-
nates under the following conditions:
l When the parking brake has been
applied.
l When the brake fluid level in the
reservoir falls to a low level.
l When the brake force distribution
function or the brake system is not
operating correctly.
Brake warning buzzer
When there is a danger of brake perform-
ance becoming compromised, a buzzer
will sound to alert the driver. If this buz-
zer should continue to sound, park your
vehicle in a safe place and we recom-
mend you to have it checked.
NOTE
l Depressing the brake pedal repeat-
edly may turn on the brake warn-
ing lamp, ABS warning lamp and
brake warning buzzer. It is normal
if the lamp goes out and the buz-
zer stops sounding after a few sec-
onds.
CAUTION
l In the situations listed below,
brake performance may be com-
promised or the vehicle may be-
come unstable if brakes are ap-
plied suddenly; consequently,
avoid driving at high speeds or
applying the brakes suddenly.
Furthermore, immediately the
vehicle should be brought to a
stop in a safe location and we
recommend you to have it
checked.
• The brake warning lamp
does not illuminate when
the parking brake is applied
or does not turn off when
the parking brake is re-
leased.
• The ABS warning lamp and
brake warning lamp illumi-
nate at the same time.
For details, refer to “ABS
warning lamp” on page
4-39.
• The brake warning buzzer
does not turn off.
CAUTION
l The vehicle should be brought
to a halt in the following man-
ner when brake performance
has deteriorated.
• Depress the brake pedal
harder than usual.
Even if the brake pedal
moves down to the very end
of its possible stroke, keep it
pressed down hard.
• Should the brakes fail, use
engine braking to reduce
your speed and carefully
pull the parking brake lever.
Depress the brake pedal to
operate the stop lamp to
alert the vehicles behind you.
NOTE
l In certain cases immediately after
the engine has been started or
when the brake pedal is depressed
repeatedly, a noise generated by
operation of brake devices may be
heard coming from the engine com-
partment. At this time, you may
feel a shock from the brake pedal
if you depress it. This type of
noise or shock is normal and there
is no need for concern. In fact,
they indicate that the correspond-
ing devices are operating normally.
